1Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me.
2If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces
3Yahweh my God, if I have done anything that is wrong,
4if I have done evil to some friend who did good things to me,
5allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me.
6But Yahweh, because you are very angry with those who pursue me,
7Gather around you the people of all nations,
8Yahweh, judge the people of all nations!
9God, you know what every person is thinking,
10God, you protect me like a shield protects soldiers [MET];
11You judge everyone correctly,
12Whenever your enemies do not ◄repent/change their behavior►,
13You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike;
14Wicked people tell lies,
15But when they dig a deep pit to trap others,
16They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have;
17I praise Yahweh because he always acts righteously/justly;
